I
The BOOTMODE[1:0] inputs specify which way the Intel
Series and Intel
modes, refer to the Intel
Specification or the Intel
Specification. To pull any of these inputs high, they should be strapped to VCCIO
through a pull-up resistor, and to pull these low, they should be strapped to GND.
These pins are sampled during all resets except warm-logic reset.
I/O
CPU Present pads. These pins at the top of the package are part of a daisy chain
that indicates to the platform that the processor and Ararat are properly installed
into the socket.
I/O

documented in the Intel

both ends but may differ by a fixed phase. An Intel
receiver port receives a forwarded clock from the transmitter side of the remote
port and vice-versa, to maintain timing reference at either end of the link.

Example: CSI4RPCLK represents port 5 clock receive signal and positive bit of the
differential pair.
O
These transmit clock signals are driven by the processor and are required to be the
same frequency at both ends but may differ by a fixed phase. An Intel
Interconnect local port transmit side sends a forwarded clock to the receive side of
the remote port and vice-versa, to maintain timing reference at either end of the
link.
